Publisher's summary

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1871), written by Lewis Carroll, the pen name for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

Charles Lutwidge Dodson, a professor of mathematics at Magdalen (Maudlin) College, Oxford, originally wrote these charming children's stories for young Alice, the daughter of his friend, Henry George Liddell, the dean of Christ Church. After publication, these children's books rapidly became popular with adults because of the extraordinary mixture of rationalism and fantasy, irony, and absurdity viewed through the looking glass of a child's dreams.

These stories possibly reflect the struggles Dodgson, a conservative mathematician, was having in adapting to new scientific concepts that challenged his point of view and seemed absurd and upsetting. Perhaps Dodgson found some way of coping with his challenges through the creation of these "seriously silly" but delightful tales.

A new Disney version of Through the Looking Glass directed by James Bobin, produced by Tim Burton, and starring Johnny Depp (Mad Hatter), the late Alan Rickman (voice of the Caterpillar), Stephen Fry (the voice of Cheshire Cat), Mia Wasikowski (Alice), Anne Hathaway (White Queen), and Helena Bonham Carter (Red Queen) will be released during the Summer of 2016.

Audio editing is horrible or non-existant

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

This production was apparently never properly edited, the reader repeats lines or sections of the text over, narration errors and flubs were left in. Its a shame, the reader was very good and a proper editing job would have made this edition a preferred one, but as it exists now it is nearly unlistenable. I'll be asking for a refund.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jennifer M. Dixon’s performances?

I would listen to this reader again, provided they were supported with a proper audio editing performance.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
